O que é: O jogo de búzios e outros procedimentos divinatórios são usados para consulta e discernimento ritual.
Como a religião entende: A divinação busca orientar obrigações, identificar vínculos com divindades, compreender desequilíbrios e indicar cuidados espirituais.
Base e contexto: A prática dialoga com sistemas africanos de consulta e com tradição de terreiro no Brasil.
Debates e variações: Nem toda casa utiliza exatamente o mesmo sistema, e a legitimidade do jogo depende de formação ritual reconhecida.
